High Intenstiy Training Fights Fat

Its been a few days since my last post so thought I would give you a bit more research on how to lose fat quickly and effectively.



In Januarys edition of the International Journal of Obesity, researchers from the University of South Wales, Australia found that high intensity interval exercise three times per week for 15 weeks compared to the same frequency of steady state exercise was associated with significant reductions in total body fat, subcutaneous leg and trunk fat, and insulin resistance in young women.



This is one of the many scientifically proven studies showing the effectiveness of high intensity interval training over long slow steady state exercise. The benefit of this type of exercise is that it is short bursts of exercise as hard as you can go with a walk recovery in between.



Here is an example of how to do interval training from Craig Ballantyne's Turbulence training program. This program is one of the best fat burning resources you could possibly buy to help you achieve your goals. Take a look HERE

Diet Hazards

Here is a great mini article from Ross Chainey. It shows how important it is to make the right choices when eating out. In the article it states that a coffee you grab on your way to work could have 600 calories.

What does this mean in the real world: well just one coffee a day at this rate would add 1 pound of fat to your body every week. It takes 3500 calories over your maintenance intake to add a pound of fat. Seven coffees a week adds up to a staggering 4200 calories a week.

Be honest how many of you have more than 1 a day? Thats many hours in the gym to work that off. If you have to have the coffee try the healhier option go for a small with skimmed milk.
